        Hi All
        A few comments in response to some questions:

        I had this phone for about 6 months before it was stolen. (Typically South Africa) Anyhow, I must say that this phone is superb. One of Motorola's finest achievements. And that's saying a hell of a lot. If you have a look at the latest range of budget and mainstream phones, you'll see motorola is desperately in need of some consumer advice. (The v220, c650, v3, v620, etc. All lacking a lot) But not here. I had the C380 before and they are two brilliant phones. The E398's sound is astounding, the screen is perfect, the bluetooth never gave me a single days' forth of trouble (I have had it transfer at speeds of about 10kb per second, good enough.) the menus were a tad slow with response time, but other than that it is a great achievement. The battery lasted for abouth 3-4 days on average use, decreasing to 2 when playing songs and activating bluetooth the whole day. The vibrate function is quite unique, it pulses and vibrates according to the sounds' intensity. So sad to have lost it....

          hi every1 : need a lil advice... ive heard that the Charger and the Bluetooth has a bit of a problem ???? ive read a few posts on this forum, they've been quite helpful. But ive heard many complaining about the bluetooth transfer being too slow and the charger not being upto the mark. How long does it take to charge anywayz ??? n How much slower is the bluetooth compared to a Nokia or a SE handset ??? ....

          Thank you ppl ...

              I have just got myself an E398 and it is the best phone I have ever had.It would be great if it came with some helpful guide or how to use MP3 or bluetooth to the full benifits. I have managed to work most of the things but I am having problems down loading the MP3 maker tracks to my phone using the UBS. My computer has tried to download the progrem, it says that it has been installed but has a problem a code 28 'The object to be verified is unknown to the Trust Provider'Then says unable to locate. All this means nothing to me. Can anyone Help Please as I just want to throw my computer out of the window.

                  Hello,

                  How could I get the java game files copied from the flash card to my PC and vice versa?

                  I have opened the flash card by using the SanDisk adapter but no any java file can be found

                  Thanks

                    Is the bluetooth connectivity that bad ?
                    ive heard it transfers data at half the rate of the nokia's & Se's. n how is the transfer with the USB cable ?

                      I've been using the E398 for 1/2yr now and can only express my entire satisfaction with this mobile.The battery is class, the display big and sharp, the reception is excellent. I used to use the K700i before which I would consider half as good as the E398 esp. in terms of quality. The only weak point is its conectivity

                        So let me get this straight. When a call comes in it would start ringing n vibrating together at the same time ? The Alarm is a Full Functioned one, operates just like the Nokias n SE's ? and it Is possible to change covers as long as u can figure out how ??? .... this sounds OK....
                        then the Speed .. is it as slow as the K700i(which is passable) , or even slower ? the viewing area of pics n video playback is only half the screen ? is this true ?
                        assuming the price being irrelevent, is the E398 still better than K700i ???
                        i have narrowed my options to just these 2 phones(since N6230 has a very small display)
                        ive read a few opinions on this forum. any more regarding my post, is well appreciated.
                        thank you .... for ur help

                                      1. yes it does vibrate and ring at the same time - the vibesync technology means that in some cases the pfone vibrates in beat to the music
                                      2. You can set any sound you have on the phone as your alarm and as loud as you like, also the alarm only stops when youconfirm it on the phone
                                      3. Finally, you can change the cover of the phone but the phones covers arent really supposed to be replaced. it would be more of a screwdriver job. plus i dont think that you can change the screen.
                                      overall its a great phone but does lag a little. hope this helps

                                        To Aaron : thanx for ur take on the phone. does clear a few of my doubts... but then again, when i asked about ring n vibrate together,I meant does it vibrate 1st n then start the ringing. Doesnt ring at 1st ( like some of the older motorola's). and for the alarm, on a few websites i read ....
                                        "Alarm : Ring Once Only" (again like few of the old motorola's) ... is it a full fledged Alarm ???? and is the cover changable ... as im worried i mite scratch the screen.
                                        n no replacement is a problem.
                                        well anyways ... thanx for ur help
